RJWantsTheCup Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Surprised they blew the 2-0 lead. Glad I didn't stay up for the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After their last game against the Flames, I am not so sure. lol They are playing very well overall. The Rangers are really going to have to start playing better offensively to beat these good teams. They've been gutting out wins to their credit, but they have not been pleasant to watch so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 That would be nice. But so far this team looks like it's the same crap game after game, but we'll see. It will be a big game to see as far as adjustments go, especially since they just played them a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakko with no points in 6 games with Panarin/Strome and Laf being invisible every game playing on the 3rd line with easier matchups is not good. They need to start do something, atleast one of them. Is it really possible to have back-to-back top 2 picks be busts? Because the way they're going now, they can both end up like one. Kakko is in his 3rd year and there's no improvement in his production. He looks better, but that's not enough. Laf just looks like a bad hockey player. Not fast, not great hands, not a great scorer, not good in his own end and he looks weak and gassed after the first two shifts of every game. There's something seriously wrong with Rangers prospects and there's so many now that it HAS to be something wrong with the orgs development. Even Chytil and Miller looks like shit. Lundkvist has been scratched for Tinordi in back-to-back games, Lias is gone and Kravtsov is halfway-gone. Thats 7 1st round picks in the last 4 years. Its getting really frustrating.

A sobering thought for sure Meanwhile Jack Hughes, despite his injury time, will still outscore both Kakko and Lafreniere combined this season I'm sure...

I'd consider swapping KK and Goodrow. Panarin/Strome work well with a hustler a la Fast and Blackwell. I think Goodrow might be able to replicate that. Zibanejad and Kreider play completely different to Panarin/Strome, and I think their style might be better suited to Kakko's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's strong and good with the puck on his stick, but there's no playmaking skills at all, his passing is weak, his skating is still a problem and the guy don't know how to score a goal. Like seriously, if you don't count "tap ins" from setups from Fox/Panarin how many goals do Kakko and Laf have combined in their careers so far? Maybe 5?

Kakko is more of a bull, cycle, board play, powerful legs, get to the net. Panarin and Strome are lurkers, circlers, skating around the perimeter making passes until the lane opens up. Kravtsov would have been a perfect fit. I also want to see Hunt tried there. I'd have to imagine Kakko is a better fit on the Zibanejad line.

Strome has 1 ES point in 6 games. Chytil has 1 point. Your C's arent making guys better. They are holding them back. I disagree that Lafreniere has been invisible. I notice him. He's doing a lot of work away from the play. But usually in the 2nd or 3rd period, he gets antsy and starts trying to force the puck. That line has been a mess since being put back together, though. Too often, all of them are standing on top of each other. I counted 5 passes that were less than 3 feet, meaning, it was more of handoff because they couldnt skate because they were standing together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Last season when Zibanejad and Lafraniere got hot playing together didn’t Kakko play the right wing on the line? If my memory is right I would go back to that and try Chytil with Panarin and Strome. Goodrow between Kreider and Blais. Most of Kreiders production is on the power play.

Kevin Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Watching Kakko for 2/3's of this game (fell asleep before the 3rd) it looks like he's not moving his feet at all and just waiting for something to happen. No player is good when they're not moving their feet but especially a guy that lacks significant burst. I don't know if he's trying to adjust to Panarin's game and sitting in soft areas but clearly it's not working at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
